Dashing Moorhen
Oil on board 12 x17 inches
This was yet another demo painting I did sometime this year. A Moorhen dashed across the water just as the pleasureboat appeared around the bend, so I included it in the painting and used it for the title.
I'm so happy to see your paintings of summer greens re-appear, as I sit looking out my window at a wide variety of trees and shrubs. So many professional artists avoid summer greens, but that's what I want to paint.Your handling of greens is an inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThank you Jane, that's very kind! It's just observation, that's the key..
